Sex sells. Scantily clad women are part of many podium celebrations. Look at the countdown girls in motocross. Dress them like nuns, Otherwise deal with the occasional @ss grab. So what! If she was overweight and ugly she wouldn't have been hired for the job. I am sure in this overly political correct world people are nuts.

Furthermore, had he grabbed the genital region of the winner, That would have been just fine. Since people with alternative lifestyles are all the rage right now.

It was funny. Those chicks were put there for a purpose. If he really was sorry he should've just apologized to the girl if she was really offended. Not to the rest of the people whom he thinks he offended.

Pretty sure being physically assaulted was not part of the job description. Let's say your wife is hot and it was her up there. Would it be okay to you if some guy just grabbed her ass? Your daughter?

I wouldn't have a problem, as my wife wouldn't be a promo girl in the first place.
Promo girls are there to look sexy. I would hardly call that a physical assault, given that she is planting one of the other guys cheek. If the cannondale chap won, he would be copping the same kiss - she doesnt care who it is.
